Ingredients

  • 1 big spoon of Recaito (Goya)
  • 1 cube of Knorr chicken flavor bouillon
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans white beans
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, minced
  • 2 medium poblano peppers, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
  • 1/2 pack of McCormick White Chicken Chili Mix powder
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 limes, juiced, plus lime wedges for serving
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed, meat shredded
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • Sour cream &/or green onions, for topping
  • Tortilla chips, coarsely crushed for topping

Directions

Drain and rinse the canned white beans. In a medium bowl, mash half of the beans with potato masher until chunky. Reserve the beans until needed.

Add canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat it over medium-high heat. Add sofrito, and chicken buillon cube, peppers, onions, and garlic (and skin, if preferred) and saute until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes or so. Season the vegetables with salt, and pepper, to taste. Add the cumin, coriander, chili powders and continue to saute for 1 more minute to toast the spices. Stir in chicken stock, and lime juice and bring to a simmer. Add the beans and continue to simmer for about 45 minutes to one hour.

After 30 minutes of simmering, taste for seasoning, and adjust if necessary. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and cilantro and simmer until heated through, about 15 more minutes. Serve the chili in individual bowls topped with a dollop of sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, green onions, and lime wedges.
